	This is wrong. My DWL 650 is a 16 bit card and work perfectly
in a ISA-Pcmcia slot (except for the usual Intersil firmware bugs).
	The problem is that the card has a buggy CIS and doesn't
advertise voltage properly. With orinoco_cs, you use the
"ignore_cis_vcc" trick as indicated in the release notes.
